The Thursday ThesisThoughts and Lessons from Life & Guitar Teaching

It’s a funny thing, you know, this life business. One day you think it’s all over and done, that all the good stuff has been taken, and the next day you stumble on something that opens your eyes up to new possibilities.

Of course, the possibilities have been waiting around, waiting to be discovered, for a while - but you weren’t ready to see them yesterday.

Every time we learn a new idea, skill, technique or approach we can use it to look at the World in a new way: sort-of like a lens.

Not only can our new “lens” broaden our field of view, it can also sharpen our ability to focus.

And the more lenses we have, the more problems we can see a way through.

We may test a number of lenses on a problem or situation, but – with time and persistence – we’ll suddenly find that everything snaps into sharp focus...

As I’ve learned more about the possibilities open to me as an entrepreneur I’ve begun to see opportunity everywhere.

It’s crazy – you learn a new thing and “boom!” you almost fall over the possibilities you can suddenly see.

Now is the time to focus on what is most important, to keep your ferocious attention on the Big Things that matter most to you, remembering the reason why you want to do them.

Keep on learning, keep on growing; try out a new lens and see if it changes your point of view.

Does the eye chart say “OPPORTUNITIES ARE NOWHERE” OR “OPPORTUNITIES ARE NOW HERE”?

No Peeking!

It is around us. We are all here to know that every subject and every turnout of any situation is an opportunity for all of us. We may not notice it at first, but we will find out that there is something that we may do to avoid some serious problems. This will broaden our understanding about opportunity and will help us to have that positive outlook in life.

The Thursday Thesis is a fun way to share ideas and experiences from life as a Guitar Teacher, Certified NLP Practitioner and Life-Coach, Retailer, Composer, Player, Technician, Accountant, Scientist and Writer... and as the father of a wonderful son.

I'm Neil Cowmeadow, the Guitar Teacher and Guitar Technician, based near Telford, Shropshire.

My aim is to share some of the discoveries and cool stuff that took me a lifetime to learn - so you don't have to replicate the effort.

Along the way, I'm also going to debunk the mountains of nonsense and pretentious claptrap that put people off playing music, writing songs, and having more fun in their lives.

Along the way, some of these posts might challenge your assumptions and ideas.Pick up a nugget of cool stuff, here, and throw it into the waters of your life.The ripples you'll create will spread outwards...

I may also wander off into politics, literature, or any other place I damn-well please, but if you're cool with that, read on....
